"oooo Akira cant open the door"he said looking into the window then saw Greg walking towards her and opened the door for her.His jaw dropped "whoa...nooo way your brother has Akira's keys i thought there was only one copy"he said in a shocked tone "maybe they do have a relationship together but its a secret one!!!"

"ohh...thank you Greg...and yea that sounds nice"she said softly.She thought that he would leave but was surprised that he stayed.She bit her lip and turned to him and grabbed his arm "w-wait i have something to tell you too"she blushed.She was shocked that she had done that but she felt like it wasn't all of his fault.

She paused for a moment thinking of what to say to him then looked up into his eyes "i-im sorry that i yelled at you too..and for being noisy and trying to get into your business...i just wanted to know if you were okay....im sorry for bothering you as well"she then looked straight at his chest then let go of his wrist "it must be annoying to you that you had to help me open my door again...im soo useless"she sighed rubbing the back of her head "w-well see ya.."she gave him a small wave and started to walk into her room.

"Dude!" Archie whispered loudly, "They could totally be sneaking into each others' rooms at night and everything!" his eyes widened in horror. This was also very entertaining.

Greg froze when he felt her hand grab hold of his wrist. He hadn't been expecting her to stop him. She did say she wasn't going to talk to him for awhile. When he grabbed the key to help her, he didn't expect that to change, really. He still was trying to avoid looking at her, for obvious reasons. He listened to what she said and answered when she was done and heading to her room, hoping to stop her, "I don't find it annoying at all; I don't mind helping you. The only thing that I was really mad at you for was the way you jumped down my throat for sticking up for you. That kind of felt like a stab in the back, you know?" he admitted. He hadn't planned on telling her that, but it kind of slipped, so he went with it, like he meant to say that all. "Yeah... uhm, see yah." he said, turning back to the bathroom again.

"ohhh my god!!!"he said then a thought bubble came up and tried to think of and image of them together.He shook his head and waved his hands around making the thought bubble disappear.

Akira turned her head back to see him and bit her lip.She didn't know that he felt betrayed by her."well the only reason i jumped on your thought was that you seemed really mad after Archie and Travis were talking about us having sex and i wanted to know why...."she said quietly blurted out to him.She meant to keep it in her thoughts but hoped that he didn't hear her.She started to shiver and walked into her room.But before she closed the door she turned to him and asked "umm..Greg could we later on to night or something i want to resolve this before we go on stage tomorrow"

Archie looked over at the sudden movement in his peripheral vision, "What the hell are you doing?" he asked. He looked back in through the window, then shook his head and looked away, "Dude, I can't watch this anymore." while it was interesting, slightly, it was also sickening.

Even though she hoped he didn't hear her, he did. He looked down, and around the floor, trying to think of some way to answer that. Before he found an answer, she asked to talk later. He looked back to her, finally looking at her, "Yeah, alright. When?" HE stood looking at her, half turned around. She looked like she was cold, which she probably was, but he wanted to get an answer, and at the same time, he wanted something else. He had the urge to hug her- an urge he fought back, folding his arms against his chest.

"ohh i-ts nothing!/!"he mumbled "i want to go play with the ps3....i don't want to be here any more...."he said then took one last look at the too.

"umm how about after i change or something...is that alright with you"she said soflty feeling her teeth start to chatter."umm...ill meet you in your room if you like"she gave him a small smile.

"i-i think there planning something...but cant see or read what there lips are saying"he said sitting on the floor.

"Yeah, I wanna go play Guitar Hero or Soul Caliber or something. Get my mind of the horrors I have witnessed." Archie said, climbing the stairs to the back door, unlocking it and walking in. He went straight to the living room, and started sifting through the piles of games and controllers.

Greg nodded, "Alright, well, I'm going to hop in the shower. You can go hang in my room till I get out, if you want. If you're ready before me. I won't take long." he smiled a little, then walked into his room and grabbed some clothes so he could change in the bathroom. He didn't want to walk into his room in just a towel, that might be awkward. He took his clothes into the bathroom and tossed them on the counter next to the sink and, after undressing, got in the shower. The water was calming. He took about ten minutes doing what he had to in the shower, then got out and put on his clothes. He forgot to grab a shirt, but figured that wouldn't matter. It wasn't like Akira hadn't seen him without one before, and he could just grab one when he got in his room, even if she was there. He grabbed his dirty clothes and opened the door to the bathroom, heading to his room.

"yes then off we go"he said following Archie into the living room then grabbed the guitars,for guitar hero,then looked at Archie "see if you can find world tour or metallica or some sort of game for guitar hero"he said turning on the ps3.

"alright then that's fine with me"she said giving him a small smile before shutting the door.She then looked around in her closet and grabbed out some gray sweats and a black tank top and started to change into them.She then slipped into some Gir slippers and tied her hair back.Once she was finally done changing she walked out of her room and headed into Greg's room.Once she entered the room she looked around to see Greg's drum set and some other things. it was a lot cleaner than Archie's or Travis's room and she liked that.She walked her way towards his bed and sat down on it.She then heard some footsteps walking towards the room and looked up to see Greg with no shirt on.She blushed slightly and looked at his bed spread

Archie held up the Metallica disc, "Metallica, all the way, baby." he smirked, handing the disc to Travis, since he was at the PS3 already.

When he got to the room, Akira was already in there, sitting on his bed. He smiled at her a little. She looked so casual in that outfit, but somehow, she still looked really pretty. He tossed the dirty clothes in the hamper and opened his second drawer down of his bureau, and took out a white wifebeater; other than that, he was already wearing black sweatpants. If he was going to be hanging around the house, he may as well be comfy. As he put the shirt on he said, "So, what I meant about you jumping down my throat was when you yelled at me for smacking the guys' heads together for talking about us like that. The fact you did that seemed kind of like you thought I was the bad guy, and I felt a little betrayed by that, 'cause I thought we were on the same side." he walked over to his set and grabbed his sticks. He wasn't going to get to work on the song again now, so he put the sticks back in the case, which he still hadn't put the key back in there. It was sitting in the pocket of his sweat pants.

He stood near the edge of the bed, not to close to Akira though. "Plus, the fact of what they were talking about. Not just the sex, but having a baby. You can honestly tell me that didn't bother you?" It did bother Greg, but not for the reasons one might think. The fact they were using it as a taunt was what got to him, it wasn't the idea its self.

"im sorry i didn't mean to yell at you too...i just didn't want anybody to get hurt"she said quietly noticing that he was hurt by what she had said.She saw that he sat farther away from her then scooted a bit closer to him."i didn't mean to betray you im still on your side...."she looked down and started to play with the strings on her sweat pants.

She looked up at him and thought of them having a child together and blushed brightly "w-well...i-t did bother me but i just never really thought of us having a kid together..."she bit her lip "yea..i mean i have thought of the two of us probably going out but im still 19 i don't think im ready for a kid i want to enjoy my early twenties and probably when im 23 or after ill think about having kids..."she said quietly she felt her heart start to throb.

Travis smiled then placed the cd inside the ps3 then started the game. "all right i know im going to win"he smirked as he placed the guitar over his head.

Greg watched Akira. He thought about it a minute, then looking at the floor he answerd, "Pfft. You obviously haven't hung around Archie and Travis enough. They beat the crap out of each other of Guitar Hero. They're used to it." he said.

Greg looked up suddenly, "Whoa, what?" he asked suddenly. She thought of... "You've thought about us going out, as in being together-going out?" he asked. He couldn't believe that. He was sure that she didn't think of him like that, and he wasn't sure how to feel about that now.

Archie sat back in the recliner and laughed, "You wish, man."

"yea...i have...."she blushed deeply .She could tell that he didn't look like he thought the same for her."b-but i-ts alright i just a thought ..."she fake laughed but in reality she felt kinda hurt by it.She thought maybe he thought of them together at least once.


Travis laughed then scrolled down the songs "hmmm...lets play sandman first"he smirked.He was great playing that game he always scored a hundred percent in that one and knew that their was no way that Archie could beat him in that game.

He tilted his head slightly, "So you... have.. feelings for me then?" Greg asked, trying to clarify. He was a bit too shocked to be thinking at full capacity at that moment.

Archie laughed, "You're on." There was no way Travis could compare to Archie at that song. He always got 100%, and it was one of his favorite Metallica songs. Archie smiled, knowing he was going to wipe that cocky smile right off of Travis' face.

Akira thought for a moment then nodded "yea...i do...but it doesn't seem like you do...."she said softly getting up from the bed "but don't worry its alright...i would probably get over it..."she sighed.

Travis smirked seeing the count down then started to play he tilted his guitar up trying to mess up Archie.Travis's smile grew wider and wider he loved being very competitive especially with Archie

He sighed and looked at the floor briefly, "I don't know how I feel about you, Akira." he admitted, looking up at her, "I think I have feelings for you... I can feel something, but I don't know what it is. I mean, you've always been a good friend to me, so of course I feel that, but I can feel something beyond that, I just can't tell if what I feel is really serious or not..." he stood up, not looking away from her now. "I don't want to say it's one thing and it ends up being another, you know? I don't want to screw around with your feelings like that..." So, the truth had finally come out... On both sides too. He hadn't been expecting that to happen during the conversation... There was something freeing about it, but at the same time, it felt like it had the weight of a death sentence- in the sense that what he had just said was the end of it, and it couldn't be taken back.

Archie laughed, and tried distracting Travis back. They were both doing well, almost neck-in-neck. Occasionally, one would get messed up, but not long after, the other did the same thing. It was too close, and Archie was enjoying it. He had a bit of a competitive streak in him as well, and Travis was always a good opponent.

Akira looked up at him and bit her two lips together and gave him a small smile then that smile soon faded "then maybe we should just stay friends"she said softly.She understood that if it didn't worked out then they could either still be friends but not as close as they use to or they would not be friends at all."well i should be heading out now i mean i bet you have things to do"she said softly then started to walk out of his room.

Travis skewed up once and a while but always got back on the tracks.Then soon the song was over.He crossed his fingers waiting for the results hoping that he would win then saw his result come up first "yes a 99% percent beat that Archie"he stuck his tongue out at him

"This isn't over yet, Akira." he told her when she started to walk out. "I don't know what to do here, and I can't figure it out without talking to you about it. Or do you just not want to have a serious conversation like this with me?" he looked at her, unsure what to do with his hands. Eventually he settled with putting them in his pockets. He felt the key in his right one and began to twirl it around in his hand.

Archie rolled his eyes, waiting for Travis to shut up and for his score to come up. When it did he laughed, "99%. Suck it, Trav!" he said. He was surprised he hadn't beat him, but at least a tie was better than a lose.

Akira then turned back and walked towards him.She did want to finished and get this resolved but felt like she just might get hurt in the end. "then lets talk about it then"she said standing right in front of him "well...what do you feel when your with me..."she asked maybe something like that would probably help him out with sorting his feelings.

Travis's grin soon faded and made his jaw dropped "noooooo..... i wanted to win"he cried then turned back to Archie again "want to play again"he smirked

Greg was taken aback a bit by the question, "I don't know how to describe it... It's like, sometimes my chest gets tingly in certain situations, that is, and other times like in the limo, when you say something like that, it hurts way more than it should... There's just too many things I feel to be able to describe, you know? I just can't find the words..." he said.

"No, I'm bored." he said, putting guitar down and getting up. He walked into the kitchen and took out the hot pockets.

"hmm...i know how that feels"she thought for a moment "like you know when earlier i asked you what was wrong you tried to avoid it that hurt i mean i wanted to help you and i felt really distant from you because of that"she looked at the floor and wondered what else to ask him.She looked back up at Greg "have you ever fell in love with someone or liked someone before"

Travis sighed then placed his guitar away and followed Archie into the kitchen.He heard his stomach growl and grabbed some leftover pizza from the frig and started to eat it.

Greg nodded a little, "I'm sorry, I was upset... I didn't want to talk to you when you were the one who hurt me in the first place." He looked at her, then to the floor. What an unexpected question, "I... yeah, at one point, I think I kind of was..." he said, "why?"

Archie popped the hot pocket in the microwave and snagged it out when it was done. He poked holes in it for the steam to vent though so it'd cool off quicker, then walked around Travis and grabbed a Pepsi from the fridge. He didn't say anything while maneuvering around the kitchen, nor when he plopped down at the table with his 'meal'. For once, Archie was sitting at the table. He was busy thinking, and didn't really pay attention to where he sat, or what he was doing.

"well maybe you can compare how you felt with that person to what you feel for me"she averted her eyes towards his chest and bit her lip she had the erg to hug him but kept that to herself.She then started to wonder who he use to like and wondered if he had lost his virginity to her.She then shook her head trying to put those thoughts aside and tried to concentrate on the situation at hand.

Travis looked over at Archie wondering what he was thinking about "hey Archie...is something the matter"he asked curiously taking out a pepsi from the frig.

Greg shrugged, "There's nothing to compare. I wasn't really serious about her, not totally.... I definitely feel stronger for you than I did for her, but I don't know what it is..." he admitted it. He didn't know what to say, and he was starting to get a throbbing in his head from how confused he was, not that he was letting it show.

Archie looked up, suddenly coming back to reality, "What?" he hadn't really been listening and all her heard was his name.

"umm...well do you think its love"she blushed looking into his eyes.She felt like her heart was going to explode out of her chest but she wanted to know.

Travis looked at Archie awkwardly "are you alright...it seems like your concentrating on something"he started at him.

Greg looked back into her eyes, "I think it quite possibly could be..." he told her. He believed it too.

Archie nodded quickly, "I'm fine. I was just thinking..."

Akira blushed deeply and smiled "then...if you want we could go out and see if it is love...you know like out on a date or something.."she stared into his eyes. for some reason she felt soo happy.SHe felt like she was on top of a mountain.

"well what are you thinking about"he asked pulling out a chair and sat down right next to him.He wondered what was going on in his mind.
